... both Deborah Cachet and Nicolas Achten are successful, though in differing ways, the former, for example, tellingly capturing the irony of the cantata mentioned above. Cachet’s singing throughout is indeed near unalloyed pleasure; the quality of her voice is lovely, crystalline in purity and owning to the ability to spin an unwavering cantabile, yet full of a youthful warmth and, where needed, passion to evoke the shepherdesses who talk of nothing but love in its different guises. 
The Arcadian duets and solo cantatas presented here each deal with a different but plausible aspect of the pleasures and pains of love, drawing sensitively tailored responses from their fertile-minded composer. ... Director Nicolas Achten sings in a penetrating baritone, rather like a lower-lying equivalent of an haute-contre, while also playing theorbo and harp; and Deborah Cachet is an immensely pleasing and confident soprano — a voice to listen out for.
